Youth Clean Energy Movement Event in Jerusalem

Awakening dreamer symposium imageDear Green Prophet folks,

Hello! My name is Zohar Tobi — I’m an organizer for the US Youth Clean Energy Movement, and I’m writing to invite you to an event I’m facilitating in Jerusalem called the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium. Here are the basic details:

WHAT: The Awakening the Dreamer Symposium
WHEN: Wednesday, December 24th, 7-10:30pm – optional potluck at 6pm!
WHERE: Merkaz Hamagshimim, 7a Dor Dor VeDorshav St. in Jerusalem
RSVP (not required, but helpful).

The Awakening the Dreamer Symposium is “an experience made of dynamic group interactions, leading edge information, and inspiring multimedia, in which participants become inspired to reconnect with their deep concern for our world, and are empowered to make a difference.” The Pachamama Alliance created it in 2005, and has been training facilitators left and right to present it – there are now over 1100 facilitators in 20 countries.

You can view the trailer here.


I’m inviting you to attend the Symposium because it’s the most profound motivational tool I have ever found to bring people — activists and non-activists alike — into a state of “blessed unrest,” in which they become informed, hopeful, inspired and empowered to commit themselves to action towards a more just, sustainable, fulfilling world. I offer it to you, therefore, not only as an experience for yourself, but also as a tool you may use to invite and inspire others to join your own important work.

The Symposium is an exploration of four questions:

* Where Are We? – an examination of the state of environmental, social and personal well-being
* How did We Get Here? – tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance
* What’s Possible for the Future? – discovering new ways of relating with each other, with the Earth and looking at the emerging Movement for change
* Where Do We Go from Here? – considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact.

I hope you can make it! Give me a call if you’d like to chat – my cell in Israel is 052-752-6209.

Peace and blessings,
Zohar

Prudent investors will insist on phased delivery, enforceable KPIs (energy, water, biodiversity), and RHQ/zone compliance—while pricing political-economy and reputational risks alongside growth upside.

According to the JNF, it has transformed thousands of acres of barren land into green forests in Israel.

That's a whole lot of trees you'd need to be planting. Could so many fit in Israel?
